The Rumor-Filled Totally False Account of How I Ruined My Flawless Reputation

This week's Chick Flick is.....{drum roll}.......

{Via viewfromacouch.wordpress.com} 

Easy A with none other than Ms. Emma Stone!

Following a class assignment to read The Scarlet Letter, Olive finds herself being caught up in a few lies that spread like wildfire, ruining her reputation. What starts as a small white lie to a friend, turns into a bundle of false accounts about Olive's love life. She handles it with some grace, some humor, and a self-sewn A on her newly acquired wardrobe.

Add in her (smokin' hot) childhood crush, a jealous best friend, and a (pre-crazy) Amanda Bynes enemy for a quotastic {yes, we made that word up!} movie.

We also truly hope to become parents as funny as Olive's one day.

Somebody Sat On Me Again

Today's chick flick is brought to you by The Princess Diaries.

We have no words to describe the love we have for this movie. It is epic and humorous and just down right perfect for a day with the girls. We'll let the moments speak for themselves.

And, if you're interested, you can read the books. They're different from the movie so prepare yourself, but they are still wonderful. The author Meg Cabot also writes adult fiction too, and we love those books!!!

Chick Flicks - Never Been Kissed

Never Been Kissed

{via Pinterest}

This movie is classic Drew Barrymore, maybe not as classic as E.T., but as far as chick flicks go, it's pretty awesome. Drew Barrymore is Josie Gellar, a reporter for the newspaper looking for her big break. She gets assigned to go undercover as a high school student, the only problem is she couldn't pull off being cool back when she was actually in high school. A little help from her brother, David Arquette, and she makes her way into the cool crowd, but is that where she wants to be?

Oh, yea....one more key piece of information- Josie is 25 and has never been kissed!

P.S. There's a gorgeous love interest, Michael Vartan, quite worth the eye candy.

Also, this movie has some good featured characters: Molly Shannon, John C. Reilly.

This chick flick is one worth checking out! 

10 things I hate about you...

If you saw last week's post, you may think we're doing a recurring theme with movies and an underlying Shakespearean plot turned modern. In realty, we just happened to both agree on these two awesome movies!

{via buzzfeed}

This movie stars Joseph Gordon Levitt (sigh), Julia Stiles, Larisa Oleynik (Alex Mac), and Heath Ledger (May your pretty Australian self rest in peace).

 {via pinterest}

The two girls are sisters, Bianca and Kat, and have an overbearing father that won't allow the younger sister, Bianca (Larisa) to date until Kat (Julia) does.

 {via pinterest}

Patrick (Heath) is paid by a popular jerk at school to take Kat out so he can win a bet with his friends that he can score with Bianca.

{via imdb}

Cameron (Joseph) is the nice guy admiring Bianca, waiting for his chance to step in.

There's love, laughter, heartache, and "spoiler alert," Heather Ledger serenades you with his beautiful voice!

 {via buzzsugar}

This is one movie you won't want to miss!! Check out the stimulating dialogue while you're at it. ;)

Oh, the 90s were great!

A Book a Day Keeps Reality Away

{via GoodReads}

I love Sophie Kinsella's books, and she did not fail to entrap me in her story this time with Wedding Night. This story follows Lottie, who has every reason to believe her longtime boyfriend, Richard, is about to propose. When his "proposal" wasn't what she expected, Lottie flees into the arms of a past  summer romance from her youth, Ben. Ben more than welcomes the idea of marriage and a quick and rushed process. Rash decisions have attracted the concerns of Lottie's sister, Fliss and Ben's co-worker and friend, Lorcan. They try their best to stop this union. There is laughter and love, and a few twists. I hope you all enjoy it!

This is a beautiful story about first loves getting a second chance. Inglath Cooper spins a wonderful tale about high school sweethearts that never quite got the chance to realize their full potential until later in life. The characters are flawed and interact in a real world environment that isn't fueled by heady romances and unbelievable scenarios. You will get to know these characters and fall in love with them. I was sad when the book ended because I wanted to live in their world of truth.

WARNING: this book will tug at your heart strings!!!

We Like Big Books

I'm assuming several of our viewers are in the same mid-20s age range as Cassie and I are. Maybe not, and if not, that's awesome. If so, I hope you'll remember Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. You may just remember the movies, but the books are incredible. Anyways, what many people do not know is that the author, Ann Brashares, did a follow up book for the series. This book is called Sisterhood Everlasting. For any of you who ever wondered what happened to the best friends later on, this book ties up all the loose ends. It was incredible. I laughed, and I cried a lot. I highly recommend it. If you haven't read the first 3 books in the series, do that first, but definitely read this book! :)

This is a three part series by Meg Cabot.

Queen of Babble

Queen of Babble in the Big City

Queen of Babble Gets Hitched

I first discovered Meg Cabot when The Princess Diaries movie came out, and I then of course devoured the books. I soon began to tire of Mia's ramblings though and wanted something more adult and less high school. So, I found her books in the regular fiction section.

She has several stand alone books, but I love a good series. And, this one is all about Lizzie Nichols and how her inability to keep a secret always lands her in hot water.

It's fun. It's flirty. And, it's for you!

Happies & Crappies

Happies

Cassie was told at her temp job to look for full-time long term employment within the library system because of her stellar performance!
{Yay, Cass!-Mary}

Cassie met a girl at work that she went to a youth retreat with in high school!

Mary applied for 4 new jobs this week!

Mary gets to see her niece and nephews in 6 days!

Mary has a great college friend visiting Sunday!

Mary cooked and baked all day! Very happy with the results: honeycomb brittle, pumpkin butterscotch muffins, salsa, and a breaded chicken with a white wine cream sauce and noodles

Cassie found this awesomely terrible song called Crush that everyone should know about it. She thinks it's comparable to Rebecca Black's "Friday" song.

Crappies 

Cassie's photo shoot last weekend was postponed since the field was wet and muddy.

Mary & Cassie haven't read any books in almost two weeks! :(

Mary doesn't like that it's been raining the past two days straight! Where's her summer sunshine!

Mary's skin is burning from making salsa with jalapeños!-prepare with caution!
